[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7 build 987

[toad]

Freenet 0.7 build 987 is now available. This build includes significant
work on local request selection priorities and USKs. Requests are now
sorted by:
- The priority class.
- The number of retries, minus 3, but no less than 0. Hence requests
  with 57 retries will be tried last, but requests with 2 retries and 0
  retries are treated equally. (We were using the absolute number of
  retries, with the result that Frost requests were preventing anything
  else on the same level from being retried; this caused USK inserts to
  take forever).
- Round-robin over clients. (We were supposed to be doing this before,
  but weren't because of a bug).
- Round-robin over requests.

Various changes have been made to minimize the number of "clients" used
by the node (which was excessively high), including a hack to treat
Frost as a single client even though it uses multiple connections (this
will be removed when the new version of frost comes out). This may also
fix auto-update; please tell me if auto-update works, or doesn't.

Apart from this, we have added Indicia to the default bookmarks, made a
minor synchronization fix in our time-based averager, improved the
statistics page, and included the full GPL (not just the terms and
conditions). Please upgrade!
